L'Auberge du Village — Restaurant in Amiens

I have separately reviewed the associated L'Auberge du Village restaurant, which is a bit better. ||||For the hotel side, we were luckier than earlier reviewers as we did find the managing couple in the restaurant when we arrived and were soon showed our room. We were clearly unexpected despite having exchanged multiple emails with the manager, still the room was there for us, so all's well. ||||The room we stayed at ("Perche") is small. Feels almost like New York City, only you can sneak between your bed and your luggage rather than crawl over either. ||Now, we are happy with small rooms. We are, that is, if they are clean, which ours was, and reasonably priced, which at 46 EUR for a double I consider this to be, and comfortable. ||On comfort, even at this price, I would expect the shower to be warm, if not quite hot, at least at 8:30 in the morning. Our shower was cold. Hence the rating.||||If you choose to stay here, you will be in a quiet location in a tiny village in a gorgeous countryside. Then again, floodlights in the courtyard will turn on when people enter it, which did wake me up a couple of times during the night. I do get back to sleep easily. Others may find this as annoying as cold shower...

This is not really a hotel, it is actually just half a dozen bedrooms belonging to the L'Auberge du Village which is across the road and listed in the Logis book. We booked it through Logis on the strength of the photo in their book but you only eat there. We said we would arrive at 5 in the afternoon, which we did, and it was closed with a note on the door to say it opened at 7.30. We phoned the number on the booking but it went to answer phone where I left a message, we did not get a call back. Eventually we got a shopkeeper to contact the owners who told us the key to our room was over the road in the letter box for hotel St Joseph. The room was about 10 ft square which included the en suite, I have had more room in a 2 berth caravan. I booked half board and was quoted a guaranteed price with my Logis confirmation but the hotel owner did not honour it and it cost me 12 Euros more. When we went to breakfast the next morning there was a notice on Auberge door saying that keys to the rooms were over the road but it wasn't there when we arrived. Needless to say that although Logis say the price is guaranteed when you book they changed their mind when I queried it with them. Really bad value...
